Hello Wargamer, thanks for your response.

Perhaps we can play A03. Approaching Abensberg with me playing the Austrians ?


Well, I tend to like larger maps and longer scenarios than the one you suggest, because I feel it allows scope for more inventiveness (and disastrously harebrained schemes, it must be admitted).

In the A03 scenario, the impression I get is that the two sides are pretty much doomed to slug it out from where they stand. Is there a larger map and longer scenario in the same genre which might appeal to you?

I would be happy to play either side, BTW.

Among the optional rules you suggest, I note that you would have 'multiple cavalry melees' set ON. I've been discussing this with other denizens of the board, and I confess I still don't get it. I would be very interested to know what advantage (or disadvantage) you feel there might be in having that option set ON. I can't find any explanation about it in my version of the manual. Any light you can shed on why you prefer it set ON would be greatly appreciated.

Apart from that, I would also suggest having the line movement restriction set ON, for realism, although I suspect that would affect the Austrians adversely, to a greater extent than the French.
